    Adobe illustrator problem...

    After you have the file open, select all (Ctrl + A), open a new file (Ctrl + N) and paste into the new file (Ctrl + V) and then save. I've done this on several files in the past. Some kind of file corruption may have occured, or the original file may have all kinds of swatches or actions or...

    Unreal Engine

    I think UT2k3 was the first game that used UE2(?), along with UT2k4 afterwards. If you were to find a DVD copy of UT2k4, you'd also get tons of hours of training videos, for using the Unreal Editor, on the 2nd disc. I know that every Unreal game comes with a copy of Ued, but not sure what...

    Help me with a this type of SPAM. (jsut a pic of the text about stocks)

    I got a few of those things a few weeks ago. I use Opera's M2 client with only a few filters set up, and get about 1 spam message through per month. I noticed that all of these pictures of "hot stocks" came with some part of my email address in the header. I then filtered my own email...

    What is a good way to edit IDv3 tags?

    Umm, MusicMatchJukeBox, I'll assume that is what was used to rip all the cds to your own library, will do this as well. It can (if you are too lazy) look up the tags using the CDDB. I wouldn't bother with d/l'ing any other software, as MMJB's super tagging ability does a great job, but YMMV...

    First real attempt at vector art.

    This is a pretty good effort for one who's new to AI. The portrait is very basic, but the shapes and colors are a good foundation for some more detail and a more complete looking drawing. The bamboo looks like you spent a bit more time on it. Take what you have used in this drawing to spice...

    Software you cannot live without?

    TBH, 7.5 does everything I need. Later versions seem to have features for d/l'ing music from their store, but I have no use for that. Now that I take a look at the page, it seems they've added a couple features I *might* use, like Export to spreadsheet and the Duplicate track finder. Also, I...

    Software you cannot live without?

    Every time I re-install my OS, there's only a couple apps that I can't live without: MMJB - I'm still using 7.5 Irfanview Opera Acrobat Reader (or Adobe Reader now IIRC?) I have no need for all these Ad-aware type programs most people seem to use, but I do always put NAV on along with...

    Fading an image's border to blend into the BG

    This will show you how to do what you ask. I just pulled this from a random google link. It has a ton of advertising, but it shows you what you need and the terminology that will help you as well. http://www.sitepoint.com/article/photoshop-fade-layer-mask edit: forgot link THC

    Inkjet Refill Kits (any that don't suck?)

    I'm sure some Photo-finishing shops in your area can print them for you. A local shop here will do prints 5x7 for $0.30 ea (Cdn). It's much more cost effective than using your $40-50 ink cartridges. I just refilled my $130 Epson printer with 4 standard cartridges and it cost me $100 for the...

    Music Mixing software?

    I use Mixmeister and have made some awesome (and not just my opinion) mixes with it. Of course if you try to use the 'auto beat-match' features, it will sound like crap by comparison. It's not a 'live' mixer either, but really simple to use. Check out the info page for details. I'm using a...

    The 'unidentified' icon next to Doom3 is the HLSW server browser icon. (which is a really kick-ass tool btw!). It was one I noted in my first post ^^^^^. THC

    vague question about fonts.

    Umm, no. Actually AdobeFnt.lst is installed with many (if not all?) Adobe programs. It goes into my c:\PSFONTS directory along with all the fonts that I've used Adobe's software to install. It's possible they could be Mac fonts...? THC

    Turning off formatting in Word

    Copy it to Wordpad, make the changes you want, and save it. Wordpad doesn't think for you, and can still retain a lot of the formatting that Word creates. And consider getting/using a better word processor, such as WordPerfect. THC

    how to burn mp3 CD

    After spending a few minutes toying with Nero, I found out that what I actually wanted was Nero Express which has the simple options that I was looking for. I haven't used it yet, but my next data cd will be done with Nero for trial purposes. Thanks for the tips though. THC

    how to burn mp3 CD

    Hmmm, I'd be interested in this as well. I don't use Nero often, but tried to use it to make a 'data' cd yesterday. These are the options when I open Nero: 1. CD-ROM (ISO) 2. Audio CD 3. Mixed Mode CD 4. CD Extra 5. CD Copy 6. Video CD 7. Super Video CD 8. Mini DVD 9. CD-ROM (Boot)...

    Anyone have an alternative to WeatherBug?

    I use WeatherEye. I'm not sure if this is a similar type of app as from the WeatherChannel, but it gives updates, contains no spyware and you don't need to be limited to a US zip-code for it to work. It's from the Weather Network, which we get here in Canada. It runs in the systray, uses a...

    Internet Browsers

    Ok, here's a sample of the error on the last link I posted: It does this in Mozilla 1.5, and Firebird 0.9 as well. Have you guys ever been to Slashdot? That page renders funny as well. Perhaps I've somehow got 2 b0rked installs of Gecko engined browsers, but I know these pages do not look...

    Internet Browsers

    I seem to be one of only few people who have found that Firebird/Mozilla et al. still don't render pages correctly. After reading the comments about Gecko having the 'best renderer' I laughed and then laughed some more. In the link I posted earlier where I had 2 images linked to the W3C site...

    Internet Browsers

    Yeah, here check it out: . Maybe I've got an older version that was a bit buggy with this? Either way, it wouldn't make a bit of difference to me, as Mozilla/Firefox et al. is a distant secondary browser for me. THC

    Proud Opera user since 5.01 or was it 5.11...? Anyway, this latest release with the RSS newsfeeds is the best yet. I use my 'browser' for irc chat, RSS newsfeeds, Email and newsgroups (except binaries :o). I love how easy it is to disable images, javascript, pop-ups, sound, plug-ins, cookies...

    Spy Ware From Hell!!!!

    Mozilla can easily transfer favorites, Opera does it on installation to it's own folder called 'Imported IE favorites', and is a much smaller d/l and better browser than Mozilla (IMO). I would also suggest after you get your pc back to a working condiditon, that you re-name iexplore.exe to a...

    vectorizing

    actually 3ee Dee answered badjokes question with a tutorial that explained exactly how it would be done with PS CS. I don't think much more can be said about how it's done, as it's all there in the tutorial. PS is not a good program for creating vector art, a few vector paths maybe, but...

    How can I make a semi transparent image?

    In PS, on the layer that you want partially transparent, create an opacity mask on that layer, and start painting in your black/white until you get the effect you want. Once you've done painting, then goto File -> Save For Web. You'll notice a huge difference in quality going from .gif to...

    mp3 editor/mixer?

    I've never really done that, but once the track is loaded in your mix-list, you can copy/paste/crop etc, so I would say yes. Essentially all I use it for is cross fading one song into another. You can place the songs/clips/samples et al. in any position and have the sound fade in/out wherever...

    I use MixMeister for this. Well actually I use it to make mix-cd's, but I assume that it will do exaclty what you need. You place songs, each is it's own layer, and it has fade controls as well as basic mixing funcions such as speed (only for the start/beginning of tracks though), bass &...
